Howard Berger: Phaneuf Pounding Overzealous

TORONTO (Apr. 7) – Once the regular season ends for the Maple Leafs tonight in Montreal, perhaps a Gallup poll could be taken to determine which member of the organization has endured the ultimate horse-whipping. Final candidates include Brian Burke, Dion Phaneuf and James Reimer – all of whom are covered in vitriolic welts. The general manager; the captain and the No...

Where Does Brian Burke Go From Here?

When Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke joined the organization back on November 29th, 2008 he was exactly what Toronto needed—a hard nosed, media savvy, experienced general manager with a Stanley Cup ring and a reputation for building winning teams. Burke’s tenure with the Maple Leafs has been a roller coaster ride thus far. For every success story Burke has built...

Phaneuf Adds To The Battle

from Michael Grange of The Score, Dion Phaneuf is a heated playoff rivalry away from being the legend his detractors suggest he thinks he is anyway. Hey, fake it until you make it. There are plenty of reasons why the rest of the NHL doesn’t like the Leafs captain, the two-time defending most over-rated player in the league. Just a few: His glower; his glower and his glower...

Maple Leafs D Phaneuf takes puck to face vs. Jets

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf was named to the All-Star Game on Thursday, but one might understand if he isn't willing to flash a smile. Phaneuf took a puck to the side of the face in the waning moments of Thursday's 4-0 triumph over the Winnipeg Jets.

Dion Phaneuf absolutely murdered a guy last night, much to the pleasure of Papa Phaneuf

Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf tallied his second candidate for check of the year last night (this is the first) against the Rangers when he absolutely destroyed Michael Sauer in front of a packed house in Toronto, one that included Phaneuf's own father. As you can see in the video above, Phaneuf connected on a brutal (but clean) hit on Sauer along the boards near the point...

That’s the way it is these days for the Maple Leafs’ undisputed...
